Question

Slope of P(-5,-8) Q(10,4)

Answer 1

m = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Points P(-5,-8) Q(10,4)

We see the y increase by 12 and the x increase by 15, so the slope is

m = 12/15 = 4/5

So, the slope is 4/5

Answer 2

Slope:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a slope formula that I'll use for this problem:

`\sf{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

Where:

• m = slope

Plug in the data:

`\sf{m=(4-(-8))/(10-(-5))}`

Simplify:

`\sf{m=(4+8)/(10+5)}`

`\sf{m=(12)/(15)}`

Divide by 3:

`\sf{m=(4)/(5)}`

Hence, the slope (m) is 4/5.
